The Dwarven Kingdom of Marnedur
Seated next to the Dragonborn Empire of Alzram, the Dwarven kingdom of Marnedur stands as fierce competitor. Proud and vibrant, the dwarven kingdom stands as a beacon of Amaunator and are the proud holders of the law for Nocarro. Their mountain strongholds are said to be impenetrable and the warriors held within as fierce as lions.
Held together by strong sovereigns and mighty houses of the law, people of Marnedur are headstrong and proud, making their underground mountain cities a force the be reckoned with. Few dwarves who leave home do so out of a desire to abandon their great halls made of stone or the sun roads that pave the way for robust commerce. Most who adventure do so out of a desire to add their name and life to the stories and songs of old, for the dwarven people love the epics of their greatest heroes and recount them as often as they share a meal with one another.

All of Marnedur's cities are built underground, (save for a very small few) yet they all have one key element.

These Sun Eyes are direct openings to the sky that allow the sun of Amaunator to shine upon his temple and his people.
